Default Track research

Hi guys, could you answer me the following questions please:

1. Which is your favourite track and why (can be a track that no longer exists)?

2. Which is your least favourite track and why (can be a track that no longer exists)?

3. Which is your favourite "feature" of all the tracks you've raced on and why?

4. Which is your least favourite "feature" of all the tracks you've raced on and why?

Pictures would also help me if I've never been there before!

Cheers,

G

1. Kidderminster.
It has a great pub with calvery very close. Car comes home generally quite clean. The track is easy to see from the rostrum (due to track being relatively small and the rostrum high). The track is always immaculately prepared, no weeds, freshly painted and its a pleasure to visit and always look forward to it.

2. Oxon.
Mixture of several dislikes.... Flat grass + steep hill

3. The Double Doubles at the Euros.
Took more skill than just ramping it, a good rythm landing on downramps is rewarded.

4. Southport far section.
Although I love the track, and I have now conquered this section (heck, its taken me long enough). It is inconsistent accross the width of the track and is more an obstacle section of an otherwise awesome track.

1. Euro's track in Austria RMC Wien

2. Southport (The back section makes it my worst other than that it is great)

3. Northampton Model Car Club (They made a massive sort of table top which you went up then up again 'like stairs' then turn on top and down the side) it was awesome.

4. Kidderminster ( Concrete banked corner, pointless and just wears out your tyres)

Hi guys, could you answer me the following questions please:

1. Austria RMC Wien , or in the UK 3A raceway

2. Holbeach, I just disliked it when I went, Kidderminster I find really hard and it eats tyres.

3. Probably the double doubles at RMC wien, properly constructed jumps add so much to the racing.

4. the end of the straight at bury metro, I just cant see it or get to grips with it at all.. its a guess every time for me.

Pictures would also help me if I've never been there before!

Cheers,
